Fundraising for The Nick Cotton Foundation for Brain Tumour Research because this charity is vastly overlooked for funds

We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Charity Registration No. England and Wales 1153487, Scotland SC046840

Story

After suffering with progressively ill health over the past few years, our father, Eric Brackstone, sadly passed away on the 13th January, 2018.

Dad respected a number of charities throughout the years but among a few that he supported more recently, The Nick Cotton Foundation, via Brain Tumour Research, stood out as one that very much touched his heart.

This was a desperately sad case, whereby Nick was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour on the 13th November, 2012 and after various treatments, he passed away on the 5th September, 2013.

Dad's association to Nick was via Nick's wife Rachael, being the best friend of his granddaughter, Clare.

This charity only receives 1% of the total national spend on cancer research.

Finally, the entire families associated with Dad would like to extend their sincere thanks to you all for your kind donations to this charity, Brain Tumour Research, on his behalf. This will hopefully have a positive effect on people suffering with this illness in the future and ultimately, one day, provide a suitable cure.

About the charity

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to this disease. We are the only national charity in the UK funding sustainable and continuous research into brain tumours.
